Enrichment Program: Where Curiosity Meets Opportunity
Winter and Spring Registration is Now Open!
Retirement Reimagined
Retirement Reimagined was created by two retired DU professors during a fellowship at the University of Chicago, where they focused on helping individuals navigate life transitions. Understanding that retirement brings unique lifestyle changes for everyone, the initiative offers a foundational course for a broad overview of the process, along with an interactive workshop that delves deeper into purpose, community engagement, and social impact. By blending practical skills with personal fulfillment, the program empowers participants to shape a retirement that aligns with their aspirations. From exploring new passions to fostering meaningful social connections, Retirement Reimagined embraces the many dimensions of this life stage.
Managing the Transition
This course will be offered in the Fall 2025. Please visit this site again for details regarding scheduling and registration.
